Trains cancellations - latest

[Cardelia]

No, the Southeastern trains from Denmark Hill are running as normal i.e. late. They didn't even seem particularly busy this morning.

[James Barber]

What's weird is the leading freight train company has made redundant 1,200 drivers. You'd have thought Southern could poach a hundred of those to ensure they don't need overtime to run the service.

[KidKruger]

Thanks Cordelia. Yeah trains were not as packed as usual for some reason.

[DovertheRoad]

At least 8 trains cancelled from North Dulwich this morning....starting with the 0653, 0718, 0747 and 0817

[Bic Basher]

Worth noting that there are no Southern trains (except for Gatwick Express) on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday next week.

I'd expect London Overground from Peckham Rye especially to be a nightmare, along with the buses, especially the 40, 176 and 185. It may be better from Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park which has more Overground trains, but will be exceptionally busy.

[KidKruger]

any info on trains back from London Bridge to east Dulwich will be appreciated - are they running, any news on later this eve ?

The nat rail enquiries website seems to say every 15 mins but I don't know whether that's old information they've not bothered to update / the timings listed are automatically invalid due to 'Industrial Action' banner at top of page.

[Bic Basher]

Southern have tweeted that tomorrow, there are no Beckenham Junction trains at all tomorrow, nor the peak Wimbledon services.

Southern services from Forest Hill/HOP are not affected.

[sjsl]

I've used the Beckenham line today without problem... the nat rail website is reasonably up to date, but they don't seem to know which trains are running on time much in advance. Safest to check the 'live departures' board on the site to check how things are running.

[Bic Basher]

More details from Southern on the latest changes to Metro services, which include weekends on non-strike days.

Don't often get the train but did today and at every station and onboard announcement Southwest Trains made a point of saying their new timetable starts December 11th (Sunday) and that everyone should check the website. The way they were pushing it made it sound as though there would be significant changes so may be worth checking if your route will be affected if you're heading that way: https://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/plan-your-journey/timetables/download-timetables2/

[Bic Basher]

Worth checking the National Rail site or train app as the Journey Planner has removed more services than Southern have publicised.

Forest Hill/HOP lose two trains per hour off-peak as Caterham (via East Croydon) are cancelled.

[hibbs]

Great, the National Rail app is saying there is only 1 train an hour into London Bridge this morning.

[mikeb]

Is it normal for there to be no trains from ED to LB between 8:30 and 9:33?? Nothing even to South Bermondsey

[Jeremy]

No... of course it's not normal mikeb...

[mikeb]

Forgot there was a strike on. Fair enough.

I usually cycle or run - limited scope for my legs to strike - I'm a very fair boss ...

[Baroness Millhaven]

I'm not sure whether I'm imagining things or not, but to compound our misery bus services back from the City in the evening seem to be getting worse (big gaps on the 40) and now the dot matrix at EDW station bus stop isn't supplying info.

[marigolds]

Why did I look ? Just interrupted a lovely Sunday by looking at Southern Rail site......This is what it says.....

"Due to the industrial action by drivers in the ASLEF and RMT unions, regrettably we expect Southern services to be severely disrupted every day until further notice.

On Monday 12th December there will be a reduced service operating with no service on some routes. Please avoid travelling at peak times and services are expected to be very busy and queuing systems may be in place. you should allow extra time for your journey. Further details are available on our travel advice page. Please ensure you check your journey before setting off".

Deeply despairing !! Strike days Tues-Thurs, so is Monday a rest day, 'no service on some routes' ?

[Penguin68]

For all those of us who are taxpayers (including those {not now} travelling with Govia] - the paltry compensation you will be paid for having no service is coming out of your tax, not Govia's profits. Govia, the RMT and ASLEF wish you one and all a very crappy Christmas (especially those who thought they were travelling by train to Gatwick), and a ghastly New Year. And they intend to deliver on their promises.

[Henry_17]

Do these strikes cover the Peckham Rye City Thameslink route?

[rendelharris]

No but obviously expect more overcrowding...

[Angelina]

We need to get to North Dulwich tomorrow morning by 8am. Best way? Walk? What are the roads like that time of morning from Peckham Rye?

Train timetable says no trains after 7,17 for an hour. Is that due to strike or misinformation in the timetable.

Will get a cab if need be. Walk otherwise.

[Sally Eva]

Direct service on 37 bus.

timetable here: http://londonbusroutes.net/times/037.htm. Take about 10 mins

stop on rye lane just south of PR station. Should be reliable at this time in the morning and also you will be at the start of the route

[Angelina]

Thanks Sally Eva - we left at 7 - took about 20mins to get to ND. Probably have to leave more time for a later bus journey - we were rather early this morning!

Still confused about the trains - once an hour? Is the timetable online correct?

PR to North Dulwich - under normal circumstances you can expect around 5 trains per hour, but obviously during strikes it will be much reduced. TBH I wouldn't even bother trying, as they will inevitably struggle to adhere to the published timetable.
